Chapter 43 Future Message
Dicksmoyed, Belgium, June 1, 1940.
The golden sunshine shines on this ancient city, and the fresh air in the morning makes people feel refreshed. The carriages that deliver goods to various small shops in the morning have begun to shuttle through the ancient alleys of the city. Citizens have also gotten up early, and the housewives have begun to prepare breakfast for their families. The fragrance of food has begun to float out of the kitchen windows, and the warm and peaceful atmosphere envelops the entire city.
The city began as peaceful as ever again. No one would have thought that it was a battlefield four days ago. The smoke had dissipated, but the blue and gray military vehicles parked in the central square and those soldiers strolling in the streets in groups of three or three, wearing spiritual gray uniforms and carrying rifles were reminding the Belgian citizens of the short and fierce battle four days ago. From that day on, the city had fallen and its homeland had been occupied.
Next to the central square is the most advanced Kings Hotel in Dicksmoyed. Before the war broke out, it was famous for its luxurious decoration and quality service. Its luxurious suites with more than 30 national styles and delicious food cooked by senior chefs from all over Europe made it an inevitable choice for all the bigwigs who came to this city.
Now is no exception, and the occupiers also took a fancy to it. The two long red Nazi flags hanging from the top of the hotel reminded the Belgians of their conquerors all the time. The rows of black high-end cars that were shining and shining showed them the status of the conquerors who lived here.
All Dicksmoyed people know that the person who lives in this city now and lives in that luxury hotel is definitely a big shot, and is bigger than all the big shots who have been to this ancient city. They have another topic on the dining table, and people are guessing who lives there and why he came to this ancient city.
Xu Jun is now sitting leisurely in a comfortable and exquisite rocking chair, looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, thinking about his thoughts.
The style of this room made Xu Jun feel comfortable and friendly. When he heard that this hotel actually had a luxurious Chinese-style suite, he couldn't believe his ears, and then he set his bedroom and office there without hesitation. As a result, this old hotel did not disappoint Xu Jun. This Chinese suite was indeed filled with the atmosphere of China.
However, for Xu Jun, the layout is a little luxurious, and it is a bit cheesy.
The bedroom is decorated with mahogany furniture in the Qing Dynasty, but the furniture is obviously too modified, and the overly cumbersome carvings and decorations reveal a nouveau riche-like show-off. The silk bedding on the bed, the fragmented decorative pendants, and the exquisite blue and white porcelain placed on the cabinets finally made Xu Jun feel a hint of Chinese rustic atmosphere. The style of this bedroom reminds Xu Jun of the local rich man in the southern Chinese countryside, which is arty but vulgar.
The living room outside made Xu Jun very satisfied. I really don’t know how much effort the designer took to grasp the artistic conception of the ancient Chinese study so accurately. He placed a full set of simple and bright imitation Song furniture there. The delicate lines and the calm structure reminded Xu Jun of his grandfather’s study, which was equally simple and elegant.
The only drawback is that the designer spread a wool carpet made from India on the ground to cater to the habits of Europeans. The religious patterns and bright colors ruined the elegant feeling of the study. What’s more damn is that in addition to Chinese calligraphy and paintings, there were also several ugly pictures of Japanese maids and samurai on the wall. There were also a bunch of Japanese dolls and two decorative samurai swords on the exquisite shore, and a set of Japanese armor was placed in the corner.
When Xu Jun saw those things for the first time, he almost turned his nose up. Those things should have been added later. It seems that the later decoration designers could not understand the difference between the East and China. They thought that as long as it was oriental, they could have something to do with China. Although it is reasonable, it is too unreasonable to create a bunch of Japanese goods in Chinese suites.
Xu Jun was extremely angry at that time, and he ordered Hans to immediately call the hotel manager. Hans saw his commander angry. Although he didn't understand why, it was definitely not a trivial matter to make the general angry, so he immediately sent twenty fully armed assault infantry to put the hotel's general manager in front of Xu Jun.
When the fat and fat Belgian manager was taken to Xu Jun, the poor guy was almost stunned. He didn't know where he had done something wrong and angered the young German general. Now he was pointed at his head by twenty terrifying submachine guns, and judging from the face of the general in front of him, he had definitely made an unforgivable mistake.
As a result, the manager started crying at that time, and kept asking the general in front of him to forgive him, and there was also a family with an eighty-year-old mother or something.
Xu Jun looked at the manager who was crying in front of him and lost his mind. He couldn't help but complain that Hans had misunderstood his meaning. He just wanted the manager to send someone to redecorate the room, but he was so meant that he was trying to execute someone.
Xu Jun quickly comforted the manager with a smile and explained for a long time before the Belgian understood Xu Jun’s request. The guy stopped crying as soon as he heard that he was not going to shoot him. Then he found a group of waiters like flying to redecorate the room according to Xu Jun’s request. The farce finally ended with a comedy.
Now after a full night of sleep, Xu Jun has been much more energetic. He has never slept well in the days of the battle. It was only after receiving the exact victory of Muller and Guderian last night that he finally had a good sleep. He decided to continue staying in this place for a day today and enjoy the leisure after the battle.
Xu Jun was lying comfortably in the rocking chair in the silk pajamas provided by the hotel, swaying happily. He began to look proudly at the arrogant general uniform on the clothes hanger by the door. Now there were three diamond-shaped star badges on the twisted gold wire epaulette. When the four British infantry divisions surrendered, the commander immediately raised the level of himself. Now he is an Admiral Reinhart Army. This is only one step away from the Army Marshal. As long as he fights a few more beautiful battles, the marshal's persuasion stick will definitely not be able to escape.
A lot of medals were sent with the general's star emblem. Some were issued for the Battle of Aras, and some were issued for the results of the early stages of this battle. There was a Level 1 Iron Cross, an Imperial Knight, a Battle Sick, an Excellent Flying, a Pilot Logo, and a Tank Destroyer.
The last medal made Xu Jun laugh and cry. The official document of the commander said that this medal was awarded to him for flying a plane to destroy enemy tanks in Aras. Thinking of that embarrassing forced landing, Xu Jun was filled with mixed feelings. It was the first crisis he encountered when he came to this world. It was really a miracle to be able to survive that disaster.
Thinking of this, Xu Jun took out a necklace from his neck from his pajamas. He looked at the silver-shining pendant on the necklace, and his thoughts returned to the night before the battle began. The pendant slowly turned in front of Xu Jun's eyes. It was a silver metal piece with finger-long carved lines, and beautiful brilliance was reflected as the rotation was turned. This is the last connection between Xu Jun and the future world, and it is the only evidence that Xu Jun can prove where he came from. The memory storage chip that Tom, the captain of the space-time patrol ship "Sparta", was handed over to him at the end.
Xu Jun took the time to look at the information stored in this chip before the battle began. As a result, the information inside gave him more ideas and expectations for his future.
Everything started from the night before the battle. It was May 25th. Xu Jun studied the map after having dinner. Then he felt a little tired and wanted to take a nap. When he took off his military uniform, he dropped the ID card of this chip and fell on the ground, which reminded Xu Jun of this future gift.
Xu Jun felt that all the plans were on track anyway, and he had nothing to do for the time being. In addition, he was indeed curious about the content in this chip, so he decided to start interpreting the chip immediately. After observing that there was no one near his room, Xu Jun locked the door and pulled up the curtains. Then he sat on the bed, picked up the chip and stuck it to his forehead, and then pressed an inconspicuous small button on the fast chip. In an instant, countless pictures poured into Xu Jun's mind like a tide. The rapid memory transmission made Xu Jun's avatar explode and Xu Jun almost screamed loudly.
After more than ten seconds, the pain began to slowly slow down, and the transmission of memory began to slowly slow down. The last picture of Tom appeared clearly in Xu Jun's mind, and then the picture began to move. This is the message Tom stored in this chip to Xu Jun.
I saw Tom sitting in the familiar command room, smiling at Xu Jun, "My dear friend, when you saw this message, we were already very far apart. If you can see this message, it means that you have arrived at that time and space safely. I would like to congratulate you first, you must have established a firm foothold in that time and space.
Sorry, we put you on the darkest side of that history, but I believe that with your ability, you can do something for those who have been hurt in the war. In fact, what you have done has become history, and we have done what we should do in that history. We have not changed history because we are sending you there is part of history.
Now you should understand the mission you are shouldering. You are the creator of history. The operation of this world will rotate according to your wishes. There is no future in this branch of time, so everything is uncertain. You will determine the future for this world. How about it, are you very excited?
As a friend who knows a lot about time and space, I would like to advise you that when you start to change this world, the world you know and familiar with no longer exists, some things will no longer happen, and some things will not appear again, so you can no longer predict what may happen in the future based on the history you know, because those have become uncertain factors.
Also, although the development of history has its chance, it also has its necessity. If you imagine history as a river, you will understand that although an accidental factor may change the flow of the river, it will still return to the direction it should go. You cannot stop history from moving forward, just like you cannot block a river. If you want it to flow in the direction you want it to flow, you have to fall from the foundation of this river, and you have to open a suitable river for the history you want to change, and then you can close the original road.
I can only tell you this, and you will slowly understand the others. Regarding that space-time beacon, please be sure to destroy it as soon as possible. This chip is a key that can open the shell of the space-time beacon, so it will be more convenient for you to destroy that thing. I think you have found the exact location of the beacon from Jack's memory. Please complete your mission as soon as possible.
After we left that space-time tributary, we were ready to start repairing the holes in space-time, and I would like to ask you all about the matter here. I also stored some information you may need in this chip, such as drawings and key technologies for some of the more successful weapons from 1940 to 1950, as well as some energy and minerals that could be discovered at that time. I hope these will be useful to you.
When you see my message, the information has been transferred. Haha, you may have a headache, but don’t worry that this is normal. Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for everything you have done for our time and space. The energy of this chip is almost used up, so I’m here to say, take care of it, my friend.”
Then Xu Jun's eyes darkened and the picture disappeared.
Xu Jun sat blankly on the bed, his mind was in a mess. Tom's advice kept echoing in his mind.
So that's how it is. I am not changing any history, because those history does not exist in this time and space, and I am creating history now. No matter what I do, these will become real existences, and these will be the real history that people here remember.
The future has become no longer clear, and everything has become an uncertain existence. Now I don’t have to deliberately change anything. Just continue to live and fight according to my own ideas and create a history that belongs to me and this world.
Xu Jun decided to abandon the history he knew that had not happened yet, because he understood that those would not happen again. Now the master of history and time is himself. Xu Jun's fighting spirit has risen and he is determined to do all his strength to welcome his uncertain future. No matter what the future is, the fate of the world is in his own hands.
Xu Jun was determined to use his own strength to create a perfect river for history, and then follow the surging history to explore the future of this world.
